The CDC said suicide rates in the USA increased more than 30 per cent between 1999 and 2016. Its rate jumped a staggering 40.6 percent between 1999 and 2016, the years covered in the CDC report.

Suicide rates increased significantly in 44 states, with 25 recording increases of more than 30 percent.

"Unfortunately, our data show that the problem is getting worse", CDC Principal Deputy Director Dr. Anne Schuchat said in a press briefing.

In its Vital Signs report, the CDC said that almost 45,000 Americans died by their own hand in 2016.

Among those who committed suicide and who had known mental health conditions, 67.2% had a history of treatment for mental health or substance abuse conditions, and 54 percent were in treatment at the time of their suicide.

Problems with relationships, physical health, money, jobs or housing can lead people to take their own lives, the report stated.

The rates of suicide for all states and the District of Columbia were calculated using data from the National Vital Statistics System. "We also have to help people learn how to cope".

A rare and brilliant talent is gone from the world after Anthony Bourdain has taken his own life at the age of 61. Suicide rates were higher among males in Maryland, ranging from about 17 to 18 per 100,000 males.

Opioid use is also surging across the US.

Preventing suicide requires help from all sectors of society, the researchers said.

"It's not a simplistic 'they have mental issues, they killed themselves'".

If this person talks or behaves in a way that makes you believe that he or she may try to attempt suicide, then get help from a trained professional as quickly as possible.
